[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon No. 12 (No.195312, the historic numbering used before 1981) was a 1953 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Peak intensity: tropical storm, maximum wind 23 m/s, minimum central pressure 988 hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was numbered off on 1953-08-11, and has 8 track points recorded in total.
Code note: the international unified code for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned since 1981 by JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological centre for East Asia. That system did not exist in 1953, so 195312 is a historic number carried over by the CMA. In that year the numbers given by JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA) and the meteorological authorities in China for the same typhoon may differ and cannot be compared directly.
Track data source: USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) best-track data. China Meteorological Administration best-track dataset begins in 1949 and does not include this typhoon. JTWC wind speeds are 1-min sustained wind speeds, generally about 10% higher than the 2-min sustained wind speeds used in China.
